兵庫 豊岡 出石焼 来年の干支「巳」の置物づくりが最盛期

国の伝統的工芸品指定されている磁器出石焼」の産地兵庫県豊岡市出石町では、来年の干支ちなん置物づくり最盛期迎えています。

豊岡市出石町明治時代から続く工房では、50年余り前から干支かたどった「出石焼」の置物づくり取り組んでいます。

ことしも9月中旬ごろから来年の干支(み)にちなんでデザインの検討を始め、工房では液状粘土石こう流し込ん乾燥させたあと、指先や細い使っ表情や形を整えていきました。

そして素焼きをしたあと表面釉薬でコーティングし、高温で本焼きすると出石独特透き通るような白さの磁器仕上がります。

置物は、脱皮繰り返し成長を続ける姿あやかっ歩み止め前進しようという願い込められ、が頭を高く上げた躍動感のあるデザインになっています。

デザインを考案した工房永澤仁さんは「愛らしさを感じてもらえるようデザインしました。新しい年が成長するいい年になってほしいです」と話していました。

出石焼の干支置物は、工房や近くの土産物店で販売されるということです。
